| Abstract | Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) is produced in the islets of Langerhans and released in response to meals. It belongs to a family of peptides that also includes neuropeptide Y and peptide YY. In the present communication, we describe a rat receptor with high affinity for PP, therefore named PP1. Clones for the PP1 receptor were obtained by PCR using sequence information for the neuropeptide Y receptor Y1 from several species. The PP1 receptor has 46% overall amino acid sequence identity to the rat Y1 receptor and 56% identity in the transmembrane regions. The PP1 receptor displays a pharmacological profile that is distinct from previously described neuropeptide Y-family receptors. In competition with iodinated bovine PP, it binds rat PP with an affinity (K(i)) of 0.017 nM, while the affinities for peptide YY and neuropeptide Y are substantially lower with K(i) values of 162 and 192 nM, respectively. In stably transfected CHO cells, the PP1 receptor inhibits forskolin-stimulated cAMP synthesis. Northern blot hybridizations to a panel of mRNAs detected transcripts in testis and lung. A faint band was seen in colon and total brain. In contrast, the human receptor is expressed primarily in colon and small intestine. Whereas rat and human PP1 bind PP with the same affinity, the rat receptor has much lower affinity than its human ortholog for peptide YY and neuropeptide Y. Interestingly, the amino acid sequence identity between rat and human PP1 is only 75%. Thus, the sequence, the tissue distribution, and the binding profile of the PP1 receptor differ considerably between rat and human. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
